THE PAPER KITES ANNOUNCE TOUR SUPPORTS, GEORGIA FAIR AND ROBBIE MILLER
Melbourne folk quintet The Paper Kites have announced fellow homegrown heroes Georgia Fair and Robbie Miller to join them on the road for their national ‘States’ tour, set to kick off at The Small Ballroom in Newcastle on August 30, the same date the band’s debut album, States will be released.
“We’re really excited to head out on tour with Georgia Fair and Robbie Miller. Both acts are top class and we’re looking forward to getting acquainted and having some fun while travelling around together,” says The Paper Kites’ drummer Josh Bentley.
After showcasing their new material on the world stage at SXSW in Austin Texas earlier this year, fellow Melburnians Georgia Fair have just released their new single, Love Free Me and are excited to be supporting The Paper Kites on tour ahead of the release of their new album, Trapped Flame.
Robbie Miller is set to drop his debut EP later this year after having won the prestigious Triple J Unearthed National Indigenous Music Award for 2013. With influences drawn from Cat Stevens, Van Morrison and Neil Young, Miller will be the perfect opening act for The Paper Kites and Georgia Fair.
Upon completion of the national States tour, The Paper Kites will head to America for their first international dates to support City and Colour’s National US tour.
The Paper Kites’ debut album States is available for pre-order now and purchasers will receive an instant download of the band’s forthcoming second single, Young when they pre-order the album from iTunes or JB HI FI.
